Wes was rushed to The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia where doctors removed a clot from his brain. Wes’s father was boarding an airplane while his son was in surgery. “I was afraid to turn on my phone when we landed”, Rich said. “I didn’t know if the news would be good or bad.”

The news was good, and Wes came through the surgery and has been working tirelessly at his rehabilitation ever since. Friends and family track his progress on the Facebook page, Team Wes. Their motto… Too Legit to Quit!

Wes won’t quit and is still working hard on his recovery and continues to progress every single day. In fact, in May 2012 Wes graduated from high school (pictured left with his proud family!) and started his college career at Penn State University– Lehigh Valley the following Fall. He continues to be an inspiration to us all!
